Our impact 2022

We helped 28 schools build their alumni programs in 2022.

Alumni gave back to their old schools in increasing numbers and our alumni programs grew.

We connected more alumni to their schools. We held more alumni career pathways sessions for students.

More students gained practical advice hearing from alumni in the sessions.

Our impact during the pandemic

We’ve collected some of Ourschool’s key results for 2020 and created a brief impact video to thank our supporters for believing in us.

The video, created by our colleague, Sally Davis, tells the story of Ourschool’s progress at our partner schools in 2020.

It also features some of the impressive alumni we’ve worked with in 2020.
